Speaking this morning on Reshet Bet, deputy Education Minister Meir Porush (UTJ) sharply criticized the decisions made yesterday by the government's coronavirus cabinet to impose lockdowns on "red" areas, pointing out that, "If they decided that we need a lockdown, why wait till Monday?"
According to him, "When someone comes along from the health sector and says that there's a high rate of infection in the haredi community, he's not revealing any great secret. It should have been obvious that when one person in a family contracts the virus, ten more get it too, because we have large families. That's why things should have been dealt with differently."
